IBTS

In this course, we discuss relevant questions that arise from the situation in which we find ourselves. How do we develop individual and communal practices that form who we are in Christ amid a chaotic world? What does it mean to live life with others in this multi-voiced community, this mosaic of worldviews? How does mission, centered on learning, lead to relationships and holistic engagement–in the community and by the community. What do teamwork and leadership look like in this intercultural society? Are there assessment strategies that can be formative and nurture practice? And whose mission is it anyway?

This is a course for anyone who has these questions. And, if you need to develop your own local plan for ministry and mission, or you have a project that you want to revise and take to the next level, this course is perfect for you as well. Every student will have the opportunity to apply what they learn in the course immediately and develop or revise a mission project or even a local mission training course.

Apply adult learning skills and practices in your leadership, mission engagement, and training.
